I stumbled upon it accidentally and figured someone here might be interested. The starting price seems reasonable to me. The seller apparently doesn't know Witco from a hole in the ground. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2337152724&category=20690

The mug spillover has already filled up a shelf and a dresser in there.

Ahhhhhhhhhh... The Joys of Living in the Beautiful South... I can't get anything even remotely that large into this poor little house right now or I might would consider driving over to Knoxville myself.

In the early 80's this should have been worth $200 max, right? Doesn't look like they know what it is, but they know it's worth a lot, what with that 2K buy it now. I have never seen a witco bar in person... maybe I should email the buyer to see if I can go take a look. DEUS - the Philosophy Forum http://deus.org

Unless, of course, it gave the seller more justification for hangin' on to it. I certainly doesn't seem as if he/she has a clue. The term TIKI BAR doesn't come up even ONCE in the description. By the way... If you've never seen a Witco Bar in person you need to visit Graceland and head directly to the Jungle Room! Not just the Bar but the ENTIRE ROOM is Witco'd Out to the Max! It is Amazing!

I don't think i got very close to the stuff there. This specific bar is in the BOT... it looks so small, I'm just curious to inspect it, to pet it..
